Erin's feedback:

"While it isn't wholly clear what your purpose for the essay is, you have done a great job of summarizing Speak. If "summary" was your goal -- awesome! That said, if you were intending to analyze the book or provide more in the way of commentary, you'll want to revisit that purpose and find some opportunities to provide your own unique interpretation of the events of the story. An analysis will also require a specific thesis statement, which you don't currently have. The overall organization and structure of your summary are good, and you have an excellent command of grammar and punctuation."
